 | There is currently no overall general consensus on whether to forbid the practice of updating scores in real time, especially when many of these edits may come from new or unregistered users. Please follow the policies and guidelines of assume good faith, please do not bite the newcomers, and edit warring before reverting such edits. Although some WikiProjects like WikiProject Football and WikiProject Snooker may forbid the practice, a proposal to add the rule to the general "What Wikipedia is not" policy page failed with no consensus. |

Requested move
edit- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
No consensus to move. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:59, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Template:Match in progress → Template:current-sport-inline — This is essentially an inline version of {{current sport}}, so should be moved to a title with "inline" in it. As not all sports use events called matches, this would make it clearer. This just indicates that the current line/table cell will be updated soon or frequently, serving the same purpose as current-sport in an inline manner. 65.93.15.213 (talk) 05:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Survey
edit- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
- Oppose Let´s keep it the way it is, easier to understand. Match in progress means that it gets updated when/if something happens, don´t see a need to change. Kante4 (talk) 01:19, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
- If a sport doesn't call it a match (say it calls it a game, or it's instead about a tournament) it would allow usage in a greater number of sports without the idiosyncraticness of the name. The redirect would still rename so that {{Match in progress}} could still be used. 65.93.15.213 (talk) 07:25, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

editI believe that this template should be deleted as it is causing to much hassle with users using in progress to update live scores which isn't for wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a live scoring site. Skyblueshaun (talk) 13:52, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

There is no clear consensus that Wikipedia is not for live score, so that is simply a personal oppionon. Jack Bornholm (talk) 17:59, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
- Proposal at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/Archive 47#Proposal to add Wikipedia is not a Scoreboard also failed to gain consensus. Zzyzx11 (talk) 21:40, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
